We have a great selection of containers and patio furniture to get your balcony looking fresh and revitalized this spring. Bring us your vision and we can help make it happen!

The popularity of container gardening or ‘potscaping’ as it has come to be known, is not surprising. Requiring very little space and maintenance, containers have the same elements as a garden: colour, form, fragrance and texture. Versatility also plays a part in container gardening’s appeal; using completely different plants in each season will offer impact throughout the year.

No matter what the season or occasion, for indoors or out, Sheridan’s Custom Design Centre will create inspiring arrangements with distinct designs that compliment your home. Our talented designers will create inspiring custom arrangements, wreaths, centrepieces and more!

Dress Up Your Space!

Put some finishing touches around your new outdoor living space with some great accessories. Place a water feature on your balcony or terrace. A small bubbling fountain, wind chimes, candles, outdoor rugs, lanterns, wall art and everlasting plants will put the finishing touches around your new outdoor living space.

Maximize the outdoor living space of your balcony and extend your overall living area by furnishing it. The size of your area will affect the type of furniture and décor that will work best for you. A nice balance of seating and decorative elements will make your balcony both functional and attractive. Sheridan Nurseries has a great selection of outdoor patio furniture from stylish bistro sets to great chaise loungers that can accommodate any living space.

Plant Your Own High Rise Edible Garden

Just because you live in a high rise does not mean that you cannot have a small edible garden. You can! Follow our simple steps for your very own high rise garden.

Visit our garden centre for some containers, trellis and Parkwood® Potting Mix. We have a great selection!

Fill your containers with soil and place the trellis behind the planter that you will plant your vines in.

Simple vegetables are best. Buy seeds for radishes, leaf lettuce, carrots, green onions, beans and peas. You can also purchase pepper and tomato plants that are already started and will be easy to transplant into your planters.

Make a selection of a few of your favourite herbs to and before you know it you will be adding them to some of your great summertime dishes. Balcony Gardening has the great advantage of low maintenance gardening. Weed control is minimal and watering is easy.
